regular block of concrete serving as foundation post to a structure has a cross-section of 50 cm x 50 cm and weighs 800 N/cu.m. Half of the post overall height of 200 cm will be buried without footing foundation. Also the concrete will carry an equivalent of 100 kN live load and 5 kN dead load from other equipment in the building. Compute the minimum bearing capacity of the soil.
